The Thirty Before Thirty List An uplifting novel about what if's, missed chances and new beginnings

Maya''s life is predictable. She spends her days at the same job she''s been at for years, her evenings watching Bollywood movies with her parents and her Saturday nights eating out at the same restaurant with her best friend Dina. Then she meets Noah on the Underground, and for twenty glorious minutes, her life becomes exciting. Until he jumps off the train before they have the chance to exchange numbers, accidentally leaving behind a notebook containing a list of 30 things he wants to do before he''s 30. Crushed by the abrupt ending to what was supposed to be her happily-ever-after, Maya challenges herself to work through the items on Noah''s list, hoping to climb out of her rut whilst (quite literally) climbing mountains. . .and if she happens to find Noah at the same time. . .well, that would be the frosting on the Krispy Kreme. Only instead of finding Noah, she meets Zakariya; the annoying suitor brought to her via her parents and a dodgy marriage CV. But how can a flawed, real-life person ever compare to the man in her notebook?
